Do your eyeglasses have a constant screw loose? If you can do delicate work with a tiny screwdriver, then unscrew the screws on each side of the glasses three-quarters of the way. Apply a thin coat of colorless nail polish to the threads of each screw, and then tighten them. This will prevent the screws from getting loose again. What if you don’t have a tiny screwdriver? Here’s what to do…

If your tiny screws are loose and you don’t have a tiny screwdriver, press a pencil eraser against each screw and turn the pencil counterclockwise to unscrew it three-quarters of the way. The eraser is not slippery, so it will provide enough traction to rotate the screws. Apply clear nail polish to the threads of the little screws, and then tighten them back into place with the pencil eraser.
